Red candles would burn high, and the whole family would worship the moon in turn, praying for blessings. This custom reflects the ancient people's reverence and gratitude for nature.

People will enjoy the moon with their family or friends and celebrate the festival together when the moon is at its fullest and brightest. Appreciating the moon not only adds to the festive atmosphere, but also embodies people's longing and pursuit for a better life.
